Wall Street. Absolutely. Although, you know, Wall Street is it's weird. It's in sort of a transition because Wall Street is, of course, also very left. So, you know, we get to rail against capitalism, except when we're drawing on billions to support our left-wing campaigns. So, but yeah.

Again, part of me rebels against us even having this conversation, Megan. We should not be having to persuade other people that you don't get to kill a corporate executive because you disagree with his policies. Why are we drawn into this?
